Picnic of Daisies

Sketch Challenge #241I love the blue ribbon. I wish I had more of it. I found it in a $1 spot. Michael's I think. It came with 5 other patterns... 12 inches each. The sky is lightly sponged with soft sky ink. The ground was made by sprinkling dots with a creamy caramel marker and then sponging it with the same color.

SHADOWS: For the grass shadow, I used YG11 (Mignonette). For the shadow around everything else, I used B60 (pale blue gray). You notice it if you're looking for it (in real life). It's subtle... like light make-up. I find it very effective. These are both new colors for me. It's possible I'll find different colors I like better as I grow my collection even more. If you'd like to see a close of view, right click on the photo and open another tab or window.

Blogging since 2006, I still love sharing my work and those of other stampers. I started a new blog in June of 2008........ I was taking photos of my son on his birthday and I let him have a try with the camera. I had a couple of photos to choose from without having the top of my head chopped off. LOL! (July 6, 2010)
